Electrocompaniet ECI1 - Manual (Page 5)

Operating instructions:
How to turn on your system
You should always turn on your equipment in this order: Signal source devices (CD,
tuner, etc) are turned on first. Allow 30 seconds of preheating before you turn on your
amplifier.When turning your system off, you should start by switching off your
amplifier
and finally your signal source devices
After switching on the amplifier, there will be a 5 seconds delay before the speakers
are connected. This will prevent large turn on/off transients to reach the speakers.
Replacing a blown main fuse:
Always remove the AC cord from the Inlet
The main fuse is located inside a small drawer in the AC inlet of the unit. If, for some
reason the fuse blows, turn the unit off, and remove the AC cord from the inlet.
Open the drawer with a small screwdriver and remove the broken fuse. The spare
fuse is located in the hole in front of the main fuse. Push the new fuse gently out of
the hole, and place it in correct position (where the blown fuse was removed). Push
the drawer gently back to the closed position, connect the power cord and turn the
unit on.
Never replace a blown fuse with other values than printed on the unit.
Warning:
The amplifier will be warm.
Due to the high class A operating point used in the Electrocompaniet design, it is
normal that the amplifier feels warm. Proper ventilation will be needed, and the
amplifier should not be covered in. A good rule is to allow 1 - 2 inches of air
sidewise, and 2 - 3 inches above the amplifier.
If placing the amplifier on the floor, be aware of carpets that can obstruct the
ventilation underneath the amplifier.
